Title: Method and apparatus for determining the distances between surface-patches of a three-dimensional spatial scene and a camera system
IPC: G01C3/08
Filed: 1988-11-11
Granted: 1993-05-12
Abstract: The present invention concerns a method of determining the distance between a surface patch of a 3-D spatial scene and a camera system (1). The distance of the surface patch is determined on the basis of at least a pair of images, each image formed using a camera system (1) with either a finite or infinitesimal change in the value of at least one camera parameter. A first and second image of the 3-D scene are formed using the camera system which is characterized by a first and second set of camera parameters, and a point spread function, respectively, where the first and second set of camera parameters have at least one dissimilar camera parameter value. A first and second subimage is selected from the first and second images so formed, where the subimages correspond to the surface patch of the 3-D scene, the distance from which to the camera system, is to be determined. On the basis of the first and second subimages, a first constraint is derived between the spread parameters of the point spread function which corresponds to the first and second subimages. On the basis of the values of the camera parameters, a second constraint is derived between the spread parameters of the point spread function which corresponds to the first and second subimages. Using the first and second constraints, the spread parameters are then determined. On the basis of at least one of the spread parameters and the first and second sets of camera parameters, the distance between the camera system and the surface patch in the 3-D scene is determined. Using the distance finding method of the present invention, depth-maps of the scene are provided in real-time and in a computationally efficient manner. In addition, the present method is used to automatically focus the camera system and to generate improved-focus images.

Date Jul. 28, 1988.In a heat drilling process for tunnels, deep well and exploration boreholes, only a gap defining the outer profile of the tunnel or borehole is melted down. The drill core surrounded by this gap initially remains and is then extracted at intervals via the melted zone. It is expedient for the drill core to be sheared off and extracted continuously after it has passed a cooling zones. The height of the drill core which first remains in the borehole is determined such that the molten rock can be pressed into the drill core, whereby for this pressing in the necessary pressure is maintained essentially constant independently of the depth of the borehole concerned.

One voltage output can be supplied alternatively by one or the other voltage source. The alternate supply of voltage output is affected by means of control signals which control a switching arrangement. The control signals are extended to provide a period of overlap such that one voltage supply is connected to the output before another voltage supply is disconnected. As a result, a power loss due to the switching operation is reduced, and substantially compatible voltage levels are produced.

Abstract: A feedback controlled elevator system driven by a traction drive motor in response to a speed pattern provided by a car controller. The speed pattern is limited when the car approaches a terminal floor within a predetermined terminal slowdown zone adjacent to the terminal floor. A pattern limiting signal is provided in response to digital integration of shaft encoder signals which provides a digital position "x" of the car within a terminal zone. The position "x" of the car is then used to access a read-only-memory which contains the maximum car speed for the specific location of the elevator car. The value from the read-only memory is used to limit the speed pattern.

Abstract: Elements for making butt splices in optical fibers are simplified when formed of a deformable material and formed to define three surfaces (18,23,30) for contacting the fibers to be spliced. The surfaces are formed between two legs (20,21) of an element such that when the legs are closed onto the fibers the surfaces center the fibers and afford a resilient spring compression reserve force on the aligned fibers to maintain them in contact and the fibers are depressed into the surfaces slightly to center the fiber cores. Should one fiber be larger than another, the surfaces will deform sufficiently to clamp onto both fiber ends and be deformed even by the smallest of the two fibers. Thus, the splice element 11 will center the cores of the optical fibers such that in aligned position 90% or better of the surfaces of the core portions be aligned.

Title: Routing of network traffic
IPC: H04M3/36
Filed: 1988-12-06
Granted: 1993-04-21
Abstract: A process is disclosed for routing service requests through a network comprising nodes interconnected with links. The network is also arranged so that each node may communicate with each of the other nodes. At preselected time intervals, sets of routes through the network are generated in response to the network configuration and traffic information. Also, at predetermined time intervals, occupancy factors are computed as determined by the network configuration and in response to traffic information. These occupancy factors are proportional to unassociated occupancy factors and allocation factors associated with calls of the various node-pairs; each of these latter factors is derived from a nominal routing scheme in which a call of the corresponding node-pair is treated as lost only if it is blocked on all of its permitted routes. Upon a request for service, the occupany factors corresponding to the busy-idle status of the links are used to compute an occupancy value associated with each of the end routes. Each route is converted to a candidate route based on traffic load at the initiation of the service request. The minimum occupancy value for each set of routes is selected as the candidate route for bridging a given node pair. If this minimum value is less than a preselected threshold, the traffic is routed over this candidate route, thereby satisfying the service request. Otherwise, the request is denied.

Abstract: The device for the synchronised individual drive of printing screens (4) of a rotary screen printing machine has, according to the invention, a pulse generator (9) for generating a digital signal (fm) corresponding to the speed of movement of a circulating printing blanket (3). A frequency divider (11), following the pulse generator (9), scales down the digital signal (fm) with a division ratio which can be determined from a master computer (10) and feeds the corresponding digital signals to the master computer (10). These digital signals are processed in the master computer (10) to form digital control signals, which are fed to a number of sub-computers (7) corresponding to the number of printing screens (4). In the sub-computers (7), the digital control signals are adapted to the requirements of the [lacuna] of stepping motors (5) with regard to their number of poles, angle-of-rotation elements and/or power requirements. The output signals of the sub-computers (7) are entered via power drivers (6), following each sub-computer (7), in the respective stepping motors (5), which consequently drive the printing screens (4) with an angular position (phase position) which is exactly constant with respect to one another. By means of keys (8), the command for adjusting the respective angular position by individual angular increments and/or for accelerating or braking individual printing screens (4) can be given to appropriately selected sub-computers (7). The major advantage of the invention over the prior art is that a constantly exact synchronised individual drive of printing screens is ensured without complicated intermediate angular gears and speed-superposing gears. <IMAGE>
